I'm not sure what problem this is really trying to solve, the boilerplate code you mention is very explicit and it is very clear to the reader what is being done. Each property documented with its type, purpose and visibility in a common place for easy reference (at the top of the class). Each property that takes a value from the constructor assigned in the constructor. Very clear. To me this seems to be adding unnecessary magic and extra rules to remember (the contrived case you mention at the bottom of the RFC for example would actually be incredibly common) at the expense of readability and code clarity.
